Early in the daylight hour
A songbird calls to me
High above the Lighthouse tower
Way across the sea
A moment of enlightenment
Dawns just like the sun
And moves me to a purpose
Where before it there was none
Memories like shards of glass
Cut through the waves of time
Sharpened are their edges
By the daily grind
They fall away in steady rhythm
Though I grasp I can’t hold on
They soften and then melt away
Eventually they are gone
Ceasing to exist is only
To begin a different way
Giving one more reason
To believe another day
On and on the years slip by
As they’re known to do
They take my hand and lead me
One step closer to you
